The Gifts are rolling in...

Just to give everyone an update, gifts will start being posted at 6am Pittsburgh time (on LJ...I'll start the posting here after 10am). There'll be one every hour or so (more or less). Postings will be made until the 5th in order to space everything out and give some extra time to those who needed it.

And everyone should be excited as there are lots of fabulous fanworks coming in the queue! Including SEVERAL videos from the lovely [info]maybe742 AND [info]qafmaniac. So while some participants might technically have both of their requests filled, really, we all benefit from the loveliness of QAF set to wonderful tunes.

So I hope everyone enjoys all the gifts this year! and please remember to leave some love for all the great fanworks :D

Gift # 4

TO: [info]delvalmom
FROM: [info]fansee
TITLE: Mad Communication Skills...Or Not.
GIFT REQUEST: "Angst lite Brian/Justin fic with a good dose of feel good by the end.... Something that looks at the first six months or year after Justin leaves for NYC." I love a fairly specific request like this, and I stuck pretty close to [info]delvalmom's parameters. The events take place a little later than she suggested, and I'm sorry, but that's just when everything happened.
NOTE:No animals were harmed in the writing of this fic.

Gift # 5


TO: [info]sapphire_3
FROM: [info]lego_4ever
TITLE: journal banners
GIFT REQUEST: Header/Banner. I am requesting a 'Introduction' banner for my journal and a banner for my profile page that will point the way to my Story Archive. I'm not looking for an exclusive QaF-theme (my journal contains more than just fanfic), although B/J images could appear on it in some capacity. What I would really like is a writing theme: pens, paper, quills, books, sentiments and quotes about writing etc. Also, some aspect of nature and/or photography would be great. And squirrels. It would be great if there was at least one evil-looking squirrel...
